Information unknown. Any info you can provide would be apprecated.


Salt Lake City Refinery (Tesoro)

In 2004, I observed Motorola 900 MHz trunked system 5735 on frequencies licensed to this refinery under the callsign of WPKQ662. I can no longer find this system on the air. Any information you can provide on their current operations would be apprecated.

Update, 31 Jun 08: I cannot hear it from my home QTH, but a recent thread in the radioreference.com Utah Radio Discussion Forum indicates system 5375 is still active.

Understanding LTR

If the concept of trunking is completely unfamiliar to you, start here first.

Typically, the display while receiving an LTR system will read something like: 102156

Interpreted, this means area bit 1, the fleet's home channel is 02, and the fleet's ID is 156.

The area bit can be either 0 or 1, and all channels in use by the trunking system will have the same area bit. If if a frequency has overlapping coverage between two LTR trunking systems (and there is a case of this in this area), one system must use 0, and the other 1.

Both the home channel and fleet ID identify the fleet. 102156 and 101156 would be two separate fleets.

102156 will home on the trunking system's channel 02, with the speaker silent until a radio on fleet 102156 begins transmitting. If channel 02 is being used by another fleet, and a user on fleet 102156 begins transmitting, the system will automatically (transparent to the users) send the fleet to one of the other channels.

Each LTR system has a unique table, which assigns a frequency to a channel number. Channel numbers are from 1-20, allowing an LTR system a maximum of 20 channels. The table is programmed into the system, and into each subscriber unit. Changing the table would require reprogramming every single radio on the system.


Any additional information you could provide on these systems would be appreciated.
